T he other two seats were not filled last semestei U nder the proposed changes to the ASNAU constitution, an liter ( ased am ount of student signature's would be needed on petitions to recall or impeach senators and executive officers.

Sophom ore creative and comm unication arts m ajor Richard Nurczynski o f C harlotte, Vt., was pronounced dead at 9:23 p.m. at Flagstaff Medical Center. The 21-year-old student died o f severe hypotherm ia and internal injuries, FMC officials said. Because ofNurczyn ski *s position on the m ountain, the rescue attempt took about five hours, leaving the snow boarder trapped in the snow for an extendedperiod of time. Capt. Sam W hitted of Coconino County Sheriff's Office said several things m ade an air evacuation impossible. ‘T h e terrain was too steep for any type o f helicopter landing,” he said. ‘T h e elevation was also too high for a short-haul rescue, which involves suspending th e victim under the helicopter.” W hitted said Nurczynski was lo-catedin the F reem ont Saddle area of the San Francisco Peaks at about 10,800 feet in elevation. “Considering the position the victim was in on the slope, I would say the rescue was as rapid as humanly possible,” W hitted said. Flagstaff resident Isaac Page. 21, was sn o w b o ard in g along with Nurczynski when the avalanche occurred. P a g e , r id in g in fro n t o f Nurczynski, was able to grab on to a tree and escape the avalanche unharm ed. Whitted said. “( Page) dug a hole so the vie dm could breathe, and then called for h elp ,” he said. W hitted said Snowbowl ski patrollers were airlifted to a point above Nurczynski, and stabilized him as best they could once thev reached him. Ski patrol then transported the victim by toboggan down the m ountain to a Sno-Cat tractor, which took Nurczynski further down the m ountain to a helicopter landing zone. Hospital spokeswoman Wendy Collins said Nurczynski arrived at the hospital at 8:10 p.m. Mondav in critical condition. “It was estim ated that the* avalanche occurred at 3 p.m., and he was in the snow from then until the time he was rescued," she said. W hitted said Snowbowl has experienced num erous avalanches in the past, b u t n o n e as serious as this one. ‘T his is the first time anyone can rem em ber an avalanche occurring that involved a person," he said. W7h itte d said he believes Snowbowl officials have done everything within their power to prevent such incidents from happening. "They (Snowbowl) warn people with signs a n d ropes, but the bottom line is that it’s not illegal to do what these people are doing,” he said. “It’s certainly not ret ommended, but it’s not illegal.” J.R. Murray, Snowbowl’s general m anager, said the area where the sn ow boarders w ere riding was clearly m arked as out-of-bounds.
